When I grow-up, I would like to become a prosecuting attorney (A prosecutor is the lawyer that will bring charges against a criminal. Then try them in court. They work for the government to put away the bad guys.). Because, I believe that I can take on the task of enforcing criminal laws among those who supposable “broke the law”.

In order for me to pursue my career, I am looking anywhere from 4 to 5 years in undergraduate studies, and a further three years of law school: a total of 7 or 8 years.

I chose this career because I always sensed a spark about
